• Will I be awake during my plastic surgery?
  Procedure Prep

  Some procedures only require local anesthesia with sedation, and we use the minimum required to keep you comfortable. Some procedures may require general anesthesia. Dr. Fischer will review both options with you and together you will make the decision that works best for you.

• Where will my plastic surgery procedure be performed?

  In our office and state-of-the-art operating room.

• What do I need to do to prepare for my plastic surgery procedure?
  Procedure Prep

  Most of our services require little preparation. You’ll attend a consultation first, where we’ll talk about your goals and decide the best course of action. Sometimes, you don’t need work done and we’ll let you know if that’s the case.

  Next, we’ll schedule a pre-operative appointment, where you will get pre-and post-operative instructions and can ask any other questions that you may have. On the day of the procedure, we’ll make you comfortable and our friendly staff will help you every step of the way.

• Why do I need to stop smoking before plastic surgery?
  Procedure Prep

  Incisions that take longer to heal create more prominent scars. Since nicotine slows healing, it can produce more scarring. We usually don’t recommend surgery to smokers for this reason.
